Hi all: I always have the Soviet side in my PBEM games with my PBEM buddy. He has been victorious in almost every game we've played, which usually end with his Tigers overrunning my positions because my Red tankers miss their shots and get knocked out. Even with shots taken at 20m or less. When we played CMBO I almost always won every game, even though I always had the allies (usually US). Any ideas how to bridge the gap? I think my tactics are sound but my troops aren't up to snuff. Any one else out there notice the Soviet "undermodeling"? Cheers, Solo

Boriskova Station: Hiya all. I managed to win this scenario first time as Soviet by dumping my prep barrage rockets on the German positions (estimated location) facing the woods on my far right flank. I moved all my tanks in line along the ditch that leads off to the same right flank woods. Keep them in the ditch to avoid observation. Then I had the tanks drop their infantry riders and assault across the open field towards the woods on the Hun far left flank, with tanks in support. Assault in line (as much as possible) into the woods, then extend the assault into the factories; and then to the objectives from behind. Watch out for the tank-killer planes; avoid them by getting in close to the factories. Let your tired troops rest in stages as you advance them forward. That's it! Cheers, Solo

Great game, but mixed reviews so far from my point of view on the CD scenarios. I loved Golzow and Borisovka Station - very challenging and exciting! Spooky when a German tank-killer plane shows up in B. Station and starts shooting up my T-34's! But I always play the Soviet side, and some of the setups seem so blatantly unbalanced from the start (with heavy German tanks positiond overlooking spawn points, exit routes or objectives)so as to be laughable. I just alt-a out of them....But these are mere quibbles, and CMBO is wonderfully good game. All concerned deserve congratulations. I'm sure the scenario designers out there will fill in any gaps. Cheers, Solo

I don't see any evidence of a fixed hull mg for the driver, either in the diagrams you linked to or any IS-2 photos...and i've seen a lot....

Hiya - great game too.

No, we have it in the PP2 addon in Panzer Elite - no one uses it in online play on Kali because it's invulnerable. Nothing but a curiosity...
